Rosy Poached Pear Tart ...sorta
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Lauren of I'll Eat You selected Rosy Poached Pear and Pistachio Tart on pages 370 and 371 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
If you are a pessimist, you could call this a major fail (not the recipe, but me).
If you are an optimist, you can call this a very figure friendly adaptation to the printed dessert.
But my pear ROCKS.
I don't drink so I tried poaching it in a Pomegrante Cranberry cocktail. However, after a few minutes on the stove, I knew the color of the drink wasn't strong enough to transfer to the pear. I searched the kitchen for other red products.
Hum, here is what I found:
1. ketchup
2. kimchi
3. sriracha "rooster" sauce
4. tomato sauce
5. cranberries in the freezer
Guess what I threw into the pot?
I hope to someday make the whole recipe, but I am really enjoying this dairy-free option! ;)
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

I think poached pears are quite nice on their own! The cranberries gave the pear such a lovely tint of red.
Looks like the cooking classes your taking are a blast--thanks for sharing what you are doing! I will be teaching six different culinary classes for our community starting in February and can't wait! Is your class just a demo or hands on as well?! I am still debating on what will work best :-)
Beautiful colour on that pear. Delicious all by itself!
That is one of the prettiest pears I have ever seen and I love the idea of not using alcohol. Good luck with the cooking classes!
Your pear is lovely indeed. Good move, choosing the cranberries from your available "red" options. I made my tart grain-free, but a future project is to create dairy free pastry "cream".
I used a little POM juice in my much lighter version of this tart, too! But I didn't poach the pears. Yours look beautiful!
I'd call that a success! I love, love, love poached pears, and what a great non-alcoholic idea.
Ooh, I love this version. It seems low-fat and delicious. Something my waist line can finally appreciate!
Great adaptation, my friend.
good idea to not use the kimchi! looks like a delicious figure friendly alternative!
Dear lord those pears look amazing. You're making me really hungry and I just had lunch. ~Shannon
Your poached pears are so beautiful!
I love the title for this. Anyway, I also love your creativity. It looks great and glad you were able to get a suitable alternative.
Beautiful! And think of the calories saved! :o)
I wish I had thought to just poach a pear and call it a day! I didn't have time to make all of the components so I didn't make anything. Your pear looks fantastic - I might just give this a try!
